In certain areas along the LAC in the Tawang Sector in Arunachal Pradesh, there are areas of differing perception, wherein both sides patrol the area up to their claim lines. This has been the trend since 2006, the sources said.<\/p>\n
An Indian foreign ministry spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
Indian and Chinese troops also clashed in June 2020 in hand-to-hand combat in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh, abutting the Chinese-held Tibetan plateau.<\/p>\n
Twenty Indian soldiers were killed, with China suffering an undisclosed number of casualties. Both sides ramped up their military presence, moving troops, weapons, and supplies to the high-altitude desert region.<\/p>\n
India and China share an un-demarcated 3,800 km (2,360 miles) frontier, where their troops previously adhered to long-standing protocols to avoid using firearms along the de facto border known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC).<\/p>\n
Last year, Chinese<\/a> troops have been deployed in \u201cconsiderable numbers\u201d across all of eastern Ladakh and the northern front, right up to India\u2019s eastern command. Calling it a \u201cmatter of concern\u201d, the ArmyChinese invasion in Eastern Ladakh, Army Chief says that there has been an increase in the PLA\u2019s deployment.<\/p>\nWhat is The Line of Actual Control<\/h3>\n
The Line of Actual Control (LAC), in the context of the Sino-Indian border dispute, is a notional demarcation line that separates Indian-controlled territory from Chinese-controlled territory. The concept was introduced by Chinese premier Zhou Enlai in a 1959 letter to Jawaharlal Nehru as the “line up to which each side exercises actual control”, but rejected by Nehru as being incoherent.\u00a0 Subsequently the term came to refer to the line formed after the 1962 Sino-Indian War.<\/p>\n
